Antoine Griezmann has good reason to be one of the best players in the world in 2023.
Atlético de Madrid won against Mallorca at the Civitas Metropolitano on Saturday, a result which allowed them to overtake FC Barcelona and take third place in the La Liga standings.
By scoring against Mallorca, Griezmann scored his 13th goal of the season, making it the best start to a season in his history in terms of goals. He has nine in La Liga, putting him just behind Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham.
Griezmann also wrote his name in La Liga history by scoring the winning goal against Mallorca. According to Cadena Cope’s Pedro Martin, it was the 25th time he has scored the only goal in a 1-0 win in the competition, meaning he holds the record ahead of Hugo Sanchez (24).
It’s fitting that Griezmann is the most decisive player in La Liga history. He has been outstanding for Atlético Madrid for two spells, and he hopes to help them win the championship this season.
